Hi,
Short status update:
- The latest OFED-4.8-2 daily build includes SLES12 SP3 and RHEL7.4 
support for IB core, mlx4, mlx5, IPoIB, iSER SRP:
http://openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20171205-1416.tgz

- rdma-core was updated to v16.
- perftest was updated to 4.1-0.2.g770623f

Known issues:
- On SLES12 SP3 compilation fails for: qib
- On RHEL7.4 compilation fails for: bnxt, qede
- bnxt fails on all OSes except RHEL7.3 and SLES12 SP2/SP3, so, it was 
limited to these OSes only in install.pl

Regards,
Vladimir
